UNIVERSITY PARK — Senior A&M running back Christine Michael and senior safety Steven Campbell were suspended against SMU for what coach Kevin Sumlin dubbed “violations of team rules.” Sumlin didn't elaborate, saying he had informed the duo on Thursday they wouldn't play against the Mustangs. Campbell was on the sidelines at SMU, while Michael was not.

Young leadership: Freshmen, like last week, led the way statistically for the Aggies. Mike Evans collected six catches for 123 yards; Johnny Manziel threw for 294 yards and four touchdowns while also rushing for 124 yards; and cornerback De'Vante Harris tied for the team lead with seven tackles.
